And imagine if it does a million in the states or close to it? Just off PPV revenue that's over $50 million even with the distributors getting their cut.
    In the US I reckon it does over double what it did this time round.. But what did it do this time? People saying 400k.. That was what Espinoza said he wants it to do before the fight even happened.
    No actual numbers have been announced or rumoured since the fight.

    Regardless this rematch will be big and Fury will be favourite/A side this time round.

      I have no idea what it did and quite frankly it is far too soon to tell.

      I said from day and the target should be 300-350k buys and they may have reached that mark. To get what both guys wanted, it had to do 250k buys.

      A-side in what regard? He's not going to be the A-side but the split will be fairly even both ways.

        I say the rematch would do at least double of what it did last night. It was a very entertaining fight filled with lots of drama, due to Wilder's late round knockout power.

        It took him awhile to find his timing but when he did he caught Fury hard. It was a miracle that Tyson got up from that twelfth round knockdown. Eventually it was what cost him the fight.

        Had he been able to stay on his feet he would have won the title from Deontay Wilder. However, the champion dropped him twice which inevitably sealed Tyson's fate. Fury's only weakness is his chin.

        He doesn't take a punch all that well. Weighing only 212 lbs, Wilder still managed to drop the much larger, stronger and heavier Fury twice in the fight, which was how he was able to retain his title.

        Fury won more rounds and boxed beautifully throughout the fight but Deontay won the more decisive rounds by a 10-8 margin.

          Does he have a weak chin though?

          Wilder has freakish power, those punches he landed in the 12th should've knocked Fury out cold, yet he gets up and dominates the rest of the round.

            Have to wait and see what are the PPV numbers for this fight first. Also Fury saw his stock rise dramatically and he could easily bypass a rematch and make more money fighting Joshua in the UK next. So let's wait and see how much money the fight made and if Joshua gets involved in which case it will be a bidding war and Wilder team will have to out pay them to get Fury to agree to direct rematch in US. Fight will definitely have to be in Vegas to pay Fury more money.

              Fury's chin is fine, but literally any flush shot Wilder landed he dropped Fury. That shows he few shots he actually landed and the freakish power he has. Fury fought Wlad/Wilder in 24 rounds and stayed on his feet at the bell. Chin is okay.

                  It is hard to tell but my answer would be yes because that is why he is forced to work so hard on defense. He slipped almost every right hand that Wilder threw last night until the later rounds.

                  Eventually Wilder was able to time him beautifully twice and floored him; Which probably sealed Fury's fate because it ultimately cost him the fight. However Fury did box superbly throughout the fight though. He had Deontay both baffled and off balance with his upper body movement.

                  Wilder had trouble timing him with that right hand for most of the night. I think that Tyson Fury's height played a huge and major factor in Wilder missing so many right hands earlier in the fight. However, he did enjoy some success with landing the left hook though.

                      Canelo owns may 5.

                      I'm just happy we have 2 interesting fighters and a fight to look forward to in 2019. Both fighters won a lot of fans but fury is one or two more iconic fight from being folklore. He has the gypsy story, redemption story, and possibly unified if he beats wilder and aj. It's a modern day Rocky then.

                      If wilder loses the rematch, I hope it's usyk - wilder in the future! They basically weigh the same! And would love to see if usyk style can beat someone as athletic as wilder.
